If we want these/such flags passed between kernel and user space one must:
- Provide a kernel interface how to do that
- Provide a userspace (acked by respective developers/maintainers)
that the approach is sane and proves useful.

Since the above can take some time, I'd suggest dropping those from
the UAPI header(s)... for now.
